The Doctor
The Doctor was the reason why "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" exists in Playtime
Children would wash their hands properly, eat their vegetables and sleep on schedule than to ever see him for a checkup
But for the unlucky ones that managed to get sick, their friends pray for them
From the start, Playtime wasn't actually his first choice of work, he submitted multiple applications to several companies; it was only because this company was the first to respond
When he realised he had to work with pesky children and their wailing, he sighed real hard to the executives during his interview
The premises of working with toys bigger than him is what interested him in the first place and having a doctorate in Science in Mechanical Engineering is also what interested the executives in Playtime
But for Stella, she focused on another thing; his doctorate in Medicine.
"That would mean the kids can be treated by you!"
That made Harley raise an eyebrow, his arrogance showing when he raise his hand
"Now why would I use my skills for.. vexing children?"
Each executive had a different expression for his response; speechlessness,concealed irritation and amusement.
Eddie had his hands under his chin and a smooth smile before he puts his hands down on the table, drumming it
"Well, what do you think you're able to do for this company?"
"I can make this company better with my innovation and boost this company from the very bottom it's currently at."
Playtime Co. was defitenely far from the bottom or whatever Harley was talking about, effectively ragebaiting Leith before Eddie held out a hand to calm him
"Well, we defitenely like to see when man lets his actions speak louder than his words.. see you the next week?"
Leith looks at Eddie in horror
Eventually, Harley arrives early before the other employees and his orientation begins
Leith was a bit unnerved by how brilliant Harley turnt out to be in his line of work.
Even if he was genius, Harley was still a very difficult person to work with
He takes over projects, shadows after reports to tweak things in private and disregards the engineers in his team
But what pisses off most people is how damn good of a job he does
"I can't clean up after all of your errors, can I?"
All that respects for him goes back to square one and his coworkers make sure they switch out his coffee with laxatives.
As for managing his heavy workload, he creates a pet project using the late Elliot's blueprints
He scoffs lightly, who on earth would think these TV endoskeletons would be great for children when they get spooked by anything dark, grey and stripped away of colours
Though, it does match his aesthetics and favourite colour and he works on it all night
It's miraculous how he doesn't pass out from fatigue but the anger issues were the direct cause from his lack of sleep
He didn't expect anything from anybody especially from you out of the goodness of your heart and care for every employee even if they had a punchable face, you gave him a packed sandwich with no pickles for his late dinner
Usually, there was no response from him unless you go to him yourself but he had used his pet project to give you the completed blueprints he willingly disclosed
It was a little shocking to see a different face (or rather monitor) knocking at your door, mechanically walking in
This robot was fluid in its motions, ceremoniously placing down those papers to not bother with the stack on your table. A yellow eye illuminating from it's screen looked directly at you that your hands can't help but reach out to inspect it
It then stopped you, a sudden clasp of its metal hand against yours; making you jolt
In its hand, it slips in a sticky note into your palm and walked out your office
On the note, written in precise, cursive (of course this asshole writes in cursive) handwriting:
"I applaud you for not putting pickles"
Would this be a win for him not being dreadful for a second? Not really but you'll take it, sticking it on your board
The robot did need a little practise on closing the door behind it..
For his doctor work, he didn't feel particularly thrilled
He was given an office all to himself in the School so that if any problem occurs during school hours, they could go to him
On his first day, his first test subject, patient was completely unaware of what kind of Doctor Harley Sawyer was
Until that boy came out of that office wailing like a baby
Harley would be such an bastard, purposely showing thick, mega syringes to unruly kids or not entertaining the questions kids had when it comes to his bland office
It's just full of human anatomy and nothing else and kids would still question him about it
"Try to be less of an asshat and more of a doctor for god's sake, Harley."
He could tell you he didn't sign up for this (technically did) but with your very pinched expression, he keeps his complaints under his breath for now
What he does like is when there are knowledgeable children who understand his passion and how medicine should truly be understood
However, that state of euphoria ends when he is reminded how kids are just kids by anything they could say next, an element of suprise
"So paracetamol would make me feel better?"
"Yes."
"And if I drink the whole bottle in one day, I would be instantly healthy, right?"
"No."
Still, he wants to pride himself in doing a good job and he has a candy drawer much to his dismay to ensure the kids would atleast have something nice to say for the reviews
After a checkup, only some children could get candy at random though; those he deemed worthy of getting these sweets induced cavities
He catches the ones who are bold enough, the ones who fake being sick all because they wanted candy, he makes a joke he fully knows would frighten their socks off
"Careful now, you wouldn't want me as your dentist."
Then those brats found that joke so funny, they evaporated out of his office in seconds
After you comfort these children by going "No, Doctor Sawyer can't suddenly switch career paths unless he has that degree" to these kids, you partially give up on convincing him to be nicer
Yarnaby
He was a great comfort to the kids next to Catnap. When the kids face anxiety or panic attacks, he lays on top of them in such a tender manner to not squish them and let them listen to his heartbeat
It grounds them, wrapping their arms around his paw and their giggles tinkle out to his ticklish strands of yarn
He watches over them everyday, feeling some sort of solace to keeping these kids safe and hopes to dissolve any unhappy feelings and to always bring joy
He lets them ride him like a train around Playtime. It could be Playcare or in the factory and he would show up with a group of jovial kids on his back
Yarnaby would also be very warm so any child that was easily cold, sick or looking for a warmer, he was a toy anybody would look for, for hugs
Everybody would be toasty resting on his mane
He'd also be full of braids and clips, the accessories rattling in his face as the kids made play around with different hairstyles
In spite of that, Yarnaby was quite a clumsy lion, accidentally bumping into anybody in excitement
Engineers, toy makers, children, nobody was safe when he gets called over, bumping into them like a bowling ball to a row of unexpected bowling pins
To assure he doesn't cause any serious accidents that could lead to injuries, you had to train him
"Yarnaby, careful steps now.."
He practises one short distance then longer each day, he was a very good listener but it was uncertain if he did take in that information because he undoes that training when anybody calls him over with enthusiasm.
That was another session where you try to let him control his enthuasiasm by rewarding him with a yarnball if he comes over discreetly
"Yarnaby!" you calle dover, holding up your hand to signal him to come quietly
This took a few days, stretching into a week until he succeeds and you threw his reward at him. The yarnball he was waiting for that launched straight into the middle of beady eyes like a projectile
Ane he loves it, he especially loves playfighting but no other biger body iniative could handle him
There was a time he tried playing with CatNap but he was too aloof, slinking away before Yarnaby had any more ideas
The Nightmare Critters were not exempt from his playfullness either. If Yarnaby could, he was juggling them like balls in this one sided playfighting
PJ Pug-A-Pillar would be the perfect candidate but he wasn't such an active toy, living life at a snail pace that he didnt quite match the lion's energy
Soon, there will be a time where a toy would be as big as him but now he'll have fun with the humans who throws yarns at him and watch him roll aound with it
For some reason, Yarnaby had some sort of attachment to a certain someone that was very stuck up and cross most of the time
Akin to a cat that glues itself to people who fear felines, he follows Harley all of the time
Harley would wag a finger, ensuring Yarnaby doesn't get into his office and mess everything up and he waits outside so obedietally; his duties left unattended
"Down and stay there." Harley's huffing could be heard, the lions googly eyes observing Harley fix up any mechanism that he preferred doing in his office
The doctor would be a bit agitated to how he waited hours on end, shooing him away
When you came around to get Yarnaby to do his tasks, the doctor complains
"Why has this funny little creature stuck close to me, it's irksome."
"I wonder the same thing, doctor."
Though, Harley wouldnt admit it but he had warmed up to him when he starts summoning Yarnaby for orders when he litterally has a row of bots to command
Don't tell anybody but Harley soon makes a self-activating yarn. It was hefty yet Yarnaby could entertain himself for hours when The Doctor simply had no time to throw a big yarn around for him
Yarnaby was also a big hit with the technicians because he could help them with hard to reach places
Mark would yell at him from below, that goofy face of his lifting up to look at the ceiling
"Hey big guy if you just bring this wire to the other side, it'd be a big help"
He nips the end of the wires, leaping up to the hole in the wall and thrusting it to the other side where the other technicians could pull through
He'd be their helper with bringing up units and materials, making sure not to damage it with his teeth
It made the technical staff jobs much more easier even if they do have grabpacks, a sweet giant makes it all better
He also becomes a ladder for the technicians, they climb onto him and he lifts his head so they could head for the hard to reach spots
He also loves those types of pats where his forehead if pushed to the very back and his eyes stretched, those owners who'd aggresively pat their cats and they would love it
The technicians do just that a dopey grin and a small growl of happiness emitting from his throat as they collectively pat this massive lion's bed of yarn hair
Yarnaby is just a happy to be here lion, here at Playtime; his golden heart beats with jubilation
